算到手软：中国食品批发商用零钱购买8000英镑汽车



A Chinese businessman managed to cause anguish to the employees of alocal car dealership by turning up with 80 stone worth of loose banknotes andattempting to pay for a new vehicle.

中国一商人用80英石重的零钱购买汽车，这让该汽车行的员工们陷入了痛苦之中。

Staff at the showroom in Zhanjian city, Guangdong Province, southChina, were stunned yesterday when Mr Cai tried to buy his new car with hugeboxes filled with rolled notes, according to Huanqiu.com, an affiliation to People'sDaily.

昨天广东湛江市一汽车展厅的员工惊呆了，蔡先生想用好几箱零钱来购买自己的新车，环球网报道。



Mr Cai, as it turned out, is a food wholesaler at the city's Haitianmarket whose business is entirely cash-based - leaving him with thousands incash and not so much in the bank.

原来蔡先生是当地海天市场的一名食品批发商，所有业务往来都是现金支付，所以他的现金很多，银行存款很少。

Gu Liyuan, manager at the depot, said he was tempted to turn awaythe customer after he refused to pay by card and credit and insisted he couldonly purchase the ￡8,000 car with 1 RMB (10p) and 10 cent RMB (1p) notes.

该车行的经理说在蔡先生拒绝用银行卡和贷款支付的情况下他本想拒绝他的买车请求，最终，这些1元和一角的零钱只够他买一辆8000英镑的汽车。



He told reporters: 'I've never seen so much money in my life',adding that the depot 'smelt like money' after Mr Cai had dragged in hiscurrency boxes.

他对记者说：“我从没见过这么多钱”，他说当蔡先生把装钱的箱子里拖进来时整个房间都是“钱的味道”。

Meanwhile Mr Cai admitted that he had a problem in the past withbanks not accepting his cash.

同时，蔡先生承认说以前银行都不接受他的这些零钱。



As recently as this week, a desperate laundry businessman appealedfor help after he failed to find a bank to process ￡32,000 worth of coins hehad accumulated, leaving him unable to pay his staff and his mortgage.

而就在本周，一名绝望的洗衣店老板请求帮助，因为没有银行原意处理他所积累的总共3.2万英镑的硬币，导致他无法支付员工薪水和按揭。

Surely what they are doing turning him away from everywhere is wrong,its legal tender at the end of the day, no?

拒绝接收零钱，这种做法无论如何都是错的，毕竟人家提供的是法定货币，难道不是吗？

In the US its illegal to refuse legal tender in any form. What thoserules are in china is anyones guess.

在美国，拒绝法定货币的行为是非法的。中国方面是怎么规定我们就不知道了。

If you tried to pay for a car in cash in the US Jason you'd get avisit from the FBI, if you were pulled over on a traffic stop it would mostlikely be confiscated until you could prove it was legitimate.

楼上的，在美国，如果你用现金买车，FBI会上门找你的，如果这些零钱在运输途中被发现，除非你能证明这些零钱是合法的，否则就会被没收。

Why not just take some in several times a day in amounts the bankswill take especially the coins. Use several family members to spread it aroundthat way you may just get it all into a bank, even use different banks thendraw out paper money and put it into one bank. Problem solved.

为什么不一天几次、每次都携带银行可以接受的硬币数量去兑换呢。让家人全部出动，每人分批带一部分去银行，这不就解决了吗，或者使用多家银行，换到现金后再存入同一家银行。问题解决。

aww.. That must be a hard earned money for ears maybe. Good for him.

或许这是赚了多年的辛苦钱。真不错。

A word of advice, don't try that one at home in the US.

我的建议是在美国你可不要在家里存这么多零钱。

"in the US": Currency of the realm = shifty = confiscationwithout hope of restitution regardless of proof to the contrary.

在美国，如果你的钱来历不明，就会被没收，不管你能不能提供反面证据，这些钱都拿不回来了。

These are old but legal tender bank notes. ￥0.1 dated September 22,1988, ￥1 dated <= April 1, 1997. Probably could be exchanged for newerseries higher denomination notes by China Banknote Printing and MintingCorporation in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi'an, Shijiazhuang, and Nanchang.

这些都是旧的法定货币。或许可以拿到位于北京，上海，成都，西安，石家庄和南昌的中国印钞造币总公司那里去换成更大面额的新纸币。

They have advanced note counting machinery adapted to sorting largequantities of usable from unusable notes.

他们拥有先进的钞票计算器，可以将大量有用的纸币从无用的纸币中分离出来。
